it is your duty to become important.

in software. in hardware. in finance. and in entrepreneurship.

physically. mentally. intellectually and economically.

culturally and socially too.

you are required to break your patterns. and while doing so, make sure to take some risks.

you are required to make mistakes - so big that you are forced to accept the consequences.

you are required to do bad things, and while you are at it, make sure to do a lot. because there is no globally accepted good. and you should embrace your own good. even if it’s bad for others. even if it’s bad for everyone. for your own good is the one and only true good out there.

for it is :

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.

— Theodore Roosevelt

goodluck, and happy 2025.

make this one matter. this time for real.
